The Last Paper Crane

Uno?

Hm? Yes, Veritas.

Uh, can you, um, make me a paper crane?

Paper crane? What for?

If you make me one, I promise never to play with guns again.

REALLY? For one paper crane? Are you alright?

Is this a New Year resolution?
Um. Well. Kinda. Yeah.
What are you going to do with a paper crane?
I, um, like paper cranes.
Really? I didn’t know that.
Well, after a while, one acquires a taste for, um, paper cranes.

Here you go.
ALRIGHT!

WOW. It’s so pretty.
Are you sure you’re alright?

I hope your wish comes true, Uno.

I think it just did.
Why, what did you wish for?

I wished for peace.

A promise is a promise, okay?
Um. Well. Kinda. Yeah.

My fondest thanks to Jenny for giving me this inspiring book.

a very touching story.. sniff..
January 5th, 2006 - 21:16
I feel like crying, too.
January 3rd, 2006 - 20:29
Aww.. A win-win situation!^^ *claps*
January 5th, 2006 - 21:19
I don’t think so! I think my values have been severely compomised.
January 3rd, 2006 - 20:42
Congrats Veritas! Everything resolved smoothly^^
[Chune cheers]
January 5th, 2006 - 21:19
Sigh. Oh well. At least Uno’s happy.
January 3rd, 2006 - 22:34
Haha great thinking, Veritas! I should take lessons from you on how to not get in trouble
January 5th, 2006 - 21:27
You cool with 500 pesos an hour? We can start anytime you want!
January 3rd, 2006 - 23:30
Nice job Veritas…but you, not playing with guns? *raises eyebrow* XD
January 5th, 2006 - 21:30
Well. Um. Promises are, um, always meant to be … promises. Yeah.
January 4th, 2006 - 00:43
I wonder how long Veritas will last without her guns..
But here’s to hoping Uno’s wish will last a long time~ ^o^
January 5th, 2006 - 21:34
I hope so, too. I will keep my eyes on Veritas to make sure she keeps her promise.
January 4th, 2006 - 00:56
ah. what a peaceful sight. ^^
January 5th, 2006 - 21:37
Let’s hope it stays this way for, say, more than a week?
January 4th, 2006 - 01:41
-pats- You’re a good girl, Veri.
January 5th, 2006 - 21:40
Man. Those are words I never expected to see in one sentence.
January 4th, 2006 - 02:41

January 5th, 2006 - 21:42
Hey Dottie, thanks for the email!
Holidays make us fluffy.
January 4th, 2006 - 05:33
You know you are more than welcome, Uno! *grin*
I’m just glad that the size was right. heh hehe
January 5th, 2006 - 21:43
It’s perfect! I love it! Thank you! *hugs*
January 4th, 2006 - 08:54
AAaaaaaawww….
Uno you make such pretty cranes ~~~
You look great, as always btw ♥
January 5th, 2006 - 21:46
Thank you, Mia! I always feel somewhat privileged to see a comment from you!
January 4th, 2006 - 09:10
You know, I just realized… Wishing for Peace… How very beauty queen of you, Uno
January 5th, 2006 - 21:48
I did not wish for “world peace and equal rights for women.” I only wished for a simple, Woodstock ’69-ish kind of peace.
January 6th, 2006 - 13:02
AHAHAHAHAHA! *laughs and chokes at the same time* All I read was “69-ish type of peace.”
But, in that instance, peace would be spelled ‘piece,’ yes?? *nudge, wink*
January 7th, 2006 - 03:34
Several minutes after the drumroll …
Jenny, did you mean this in the context of Chevrolets or Hippies? I’m sorry, but lately, my head’s been feeling kind of … empty.
January 7th, 2006 - 20:08
*grin* I meant this in the context of ‘positions of the sexual variety,’ boy-o. ^.^
January 11th, 2006 - 04:01
Oh. Well. Uh.
January 4th, 2006 - 10:12
AW!!!! Uno is SO SEXY and sensitive!!! AW!!!!
January 5th, 2006 - 21:50
You grow to be more mature after two years.
January 4th, 2006 - 10:50
Sorry can’t help but notice .. the… very cute SD Sized book, and its not playboy
January 5th, 2006 - 21:51
Why would I read Playboy IN PUBLIC? Playboys are best kept under the bed!
January 4th, 2006 - 11:22
If I ask nicely, will Uno make me a paper crane? ¬_¬’
January 5th, 2006 - 21:53
I can make you more than one.
January 4th, 2006 - 15:56
Congratulations Veritas! he didn’t notice a thing!
fulfill your promise!
January 5th, 2006 - 21:54
I’ll give it my best, um, shot.
January 4th, 2006 - 17:18
Aaaaaaaw~! Now I’m just wondering how long it’ll be until Veritas is climbing the walls from lack of guns XD
January 5th, 2006 - 21:55
I am feeling the urge to climb the walls now, actually.
January 5th, 2006 - 00:04
Veritas’ good side is unleashed slowly
January 5th, 2006 - 21:56
Good side? Veritas? Huh?
January 5th, 2006 - 21:55
XD Yes, peace is good! Hehe…
January 5th, 2006 - 21:58
Too much of a good thing can also be bad.
January 7th, 2006 - 11:19
well you got out of that smoothly, I should take tips from you Veritas.

Is that really “inpiring“? or is it “inspiring“?
